Question

Solve for y. 2/3+y−1/9=7/9 Enter your answer in the box. y =

Answer 1

y = 2/9

Explanation:

Solve for y by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

Answer 2

Value of y in
`\bold{(2)/(3)+y-(1)/(9)=(7)/(9)}` is
`(2)/(9)`

Solution:

Given that

`(2)/(3)+y-(1)/(9)=(7)/(9)`

Now adding
`(1)/(9)` on both sides,

`(2)/(3)+y-(1)/(9)+(1)/(9)=(7)/(9)+(1)/(9)`

On simplifying above equation,

`(2)/(3)+y=(8)/(9)`

On subtracting
`(2)/(3)` on both sides, we get

`(2)/(3)+y-(2)/(3)=(8)/(9)-(2)/(3)`

Again simplifying the above equation,

`y=(8)/(9)-(2)/(3)`

Taking LCM of 3 and 9 and simplify,

`y=(8-6)/(9)`

`y=(2)/(9)`

Hence value of y is
`\bold{(2)/(9)}`
